No replacement for displacement. If you're not going to build/mod anything, just get the bigger motor.

When u want something faster its not that a engine is faster u want more power so look at differences in horsepower and torque they will help u move faster than something with less weight and gear ratios also play major part gear ratios especially depending if u want top speed or fast acceleration for getting off the line

I had a GSR with an Ls block and head with a GSR tranny and it pulled pretty hard for just an LS. Just sayin

You can do some serious damage with $1500. Aim higher. Look for a gsr or a built b16.. You can prolly find a built powertrain, tranny and all for $1500

B engines will def get you off faster stock. I wanted to be a little diffrent since everyone does B swaps. You can have a lot of fun with a D engine. I can beat most NON turbo B engines with my D16Y8. But I have a lot of sweat invested. All motor build with new tranny & clutch set up. Im not breaking any records, but im not trying to either. Just pick a build you will enjoy forget what everyone else thinks is the "in" thing. Good luck man and have fun!
